Do you doubt the US assets in Europe could devastate major Turkish cities with conventional arms? That is EXACTLY the message I would send-The nukes are leaving and no interference will be allowed and if American soldier one is injured leaving Syria you will be held accountable. You get no nukes and at the first report of Americans WIA or KIA...well-you personally will own that.

But It is necessary now to clearly delineate that they do not ever control nukes and the safety of US troops is guaranteed.
